hello i downloaded some free apps from the market with a friends rooted phone and backed them up using systemapp remover. i then mailed the apks to my mail address and downloaded them on my tab (which does not have access to the market), i then tried to install them everything looked alright but then i got the message: application not installed and that was for all three free apps from the market. do i have somehow manipulate them before i can install them? thanks for any tips
Maybe those free apps are not compatible with the tab's kernel?
You already said that you backed up those apps from a phone. Try getting a market app and then download them, they'll work.
Use gapps for gingerbread from the development section, and apply them using recovery.

Your apps might not be compatible with your Tab's Kernel.
I would suggest you to install Vending.apk (PlayStore app) first on your tab with the help of root manager and then see if it works or not or search the apps in tab section (PlayStore), follow the old steps and then see if it works.
Good luck!
Try installing the latest version of gapps

Is the phone you are installing these apps to rooted itself? I've had problems with USENET APK downloads in the past, but after rooting just about everything works. Not sure why though.
Out of curiosity, why not download the free apps directly yourself from the market instead of attemting a direct install?
many thanks to all for the tips. will try them in a few hours when its more quite at work.
the reason i can not install it from the market is that my device is not up to the specifications, its one of those hp zeen thingys, not a great tab at all but nice enough to play around with a bit. however what i will try is to install google play as it might work (the new market) but i doubt it, it had the old vending market on it but i removed since it was not working.
what i did also is that i moved those free market apps with root explorer to the tabs memory and try install it from there but it didn't work.
is it maybe because my device is not 'strong' enough for those apps? its just normal bus and train information apps....
and yes the tab is rooted

i somehow lost all my app links in the market, i have about 130 apps installed and would like to have the possibility again to update them.
is there any way to get my app links back in the market?
Titanium Backup
already tried Titanum Backup but it says that there are no recoverable links or something like that....
any other methods other than reinstalling all the apps?
Lol, if you don't want to reïnstall all the apps, how would youvlike it?
Only way is backing up your app + data to restore with links
i have them all backed up with titanium but reinstalling them with TB doesnt fix the market problem...
In titanium delete the data for the market and install one app on the market and uninstall it
well i had to reinstall all the apps for them to be visible again... i hope that doesnt happen again.
now i have an other problem, whenever i move a app to the SD card it also disappears from the market.
any way to display them if they are on the SD card?
I´m with the same problem. After installing CM7 last build I receive the new Android Market (2.2.11) and all my downloaded links gone from the market.
When I look for an already installed application its appear as not installed and then I have to download and install it again to its appear in market downloaded list.
Any way to fix that?

i could not find a other solution, in titanium backup/restore you can long hold on the apps and then go directly to the market to download them, that made it a bit less painful to install them again

Yeah I find another similar stupied solution: QuikMarketLinks, this app will list all your installed applications and link to their market page. I downloaded again 60 programs.
If you install AppBrain application you'll be able to reinstall all your applications in one shot (provided that you had already synchronized your phone with the site) as the list is saved on the site. I'm not sure it will reinstall your market links yet but this isn't a big problem as AppBrain - like the official market - shows when there are updates .
I've also noticed that the applications that I've got on my SD card are displayed as non-installed in the market whereas they are displayed as installed in AppBrain app.
The bonus of the application is that you can browse the Appbrain site on your PC, select the applications that you want to install and when you synchronize your phone it will install these applications.
Really a great app!
You might want to try this as it worked for me.
I installed several apps manually by running the apk and selecting install. These apps didnt appear in market as installed, and presumably werent being checked for updates.
I went into settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->Market->Force Stop & Clear Data
Launched Market again and after re-accepting the terms, all the apps that I had manually installed now appear in my list of installed apps.

1+ worked for me thanks
I have tried this out - worked for me in under 10 seconds on HD2 running CoreDroid. I had over 65 'misssing' apps
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.andirc.erismarketfix
well i tried the market fix and it did nothing...
also as soon as i move a app 2 SD i no longer have it in the market:/
someone has his apps on the SD and is still able to see them in the market?

Ditto! thanks a lot mate!
im having a LOT of trouble downloading apps on my TF which my xperia can download.
my tf says that my country its not allowed to download the app.
there is a way to bypass this? or a way to get the apps =(?
Edit
strange enough i could download angrybirds on my first tablet, now i cant anymore =s
try and find one of the many market fixers out there.
find the apk, put on SD, and install via the file manager.
"market enabler" allows you to spoof your location in the eyes of the market. i'm unsure if there's one that works specifically with honeycomb.
also, rooting and installing the US version of a rom like Prime might help as well.
hope i helped.

Hello
I have jus upgraded my Nexus S to ICS OTA (manually) and cannot install application that I own. It cannot be found in phone's market and on the page in my desktop computer it says that this app is incomatible with my Samsung Nexus S. Can sth. be done? I have bought this app, this is crazy that I cannot use it!
When i updated to ICS i couldn't find ES File Explorer in market, no idea why not. However from memory i fixed it just by googling the name and clicking on the market link, then opening it with the market app (option pops up). Alternatively, the market now has a sync feature, click install on your computer browser and it will "send" it to your phone (ie. download it from market automatically).

That's not Google's fault. The developer of your app restricted it based on android version number. Complain to the app developer.
App author needs to update version and possibly updates it for ICS compatibility. Not ICS fault. Here's a workaround: if you have another Android device that can install the app from the Market, extract the app apk using Astro (app backup), copy the apk to your phone's sdcard, and manually install it.

Not app's fault
I had this happen with a bunch of apps on my Optimus V and I really don't think it's the devs' fault. I was looking through Tripit's androidmanifest.xml file and there are no device restrictions (besides SDK minimum of 3). Also when I try to install them manually, I just get "application not installed". It's driving me batty, I might have to downgrade.
The is an app in the market that I would like to get but it says it is incompatible with the transformer but I am 99 44/100% sure it will work.
Is there a way to fool the market place? I searched and found answers for other devices but none for the transformer.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi
If you have another android device, like phone, download it to phone, make backup, transfer apk to TF and install. Works for me.
I have downloaded apps directly to my tf and after uninstalling them tried to get them from the market only to be listed as incompatible..think it had something to do with having a custom rom, some of them include older versions of market, some have the option to install the ics market app, while others have options to go back to the hc market app. AS poster before said, you can download on another compatible device and make a backup and just swap the apk over, but if you don't have a backup device many of the apps on the market can be found in the wild as the raw apk file, even some pay apps can be found in the wild, though i don't pirate apps because that is the sure way to kill or own market (who is going to design apps for android if they can be pirated so easily?).
Also, try to get the 'tablet market' app, that seems to have the tablet optimized versions of some apps that are hard to find via market.

Wait I dont get it. After downloading the app from Google Play, where do I find the apk for that app? And do I need a root for this?
God I hate sounding like a noob...

O didn't understand you had the apk from the market the first time. Thought you said you first downloaded it from another site then the google market.
Otherwise you need root for you transformer indeed. they are in /data/app folder
[ps] = I have downloaded apps directly to my tf and after uninstalling them tried to get them from the market only to be listed as incompatible <----this is why i thought you downloaded somewere else !!
Hey XDA world!
Do you also want to get rid of that Google Play app? Do you want the old market back? Well... I just found a way to do this without using OldMarket!
This method also needs root, but it's working for my Galaxy Mini with stock ROM and Android 2.3.5.
OldMarket didn't work for me. And this method did! Read the steps below.
Before doing anything you must remove the market updates from manage applications tab (settings) and disable the internet completely (Wifi and data connection) after you have downloaded the required apps.
You know what I mean.
Get AndroZip from the Market. You will need it for the zip file with The old Android Market apk I attached with this post.
Get NoBloat Free from the market and fire it up.
Open the 'remove apps' tab and search for "com.android.vending.updater''. AKA AndroidUpdater.apk.
Disable it or remove it with a backup. Your phone will shut down. Wait around 10 seconds and boot it up.
After your phone is rebooted, fire up AndroZip and unzip the .zip file you can download from below.
Install the Old Market apk and you are done! See how it doesn't update itself when you reconnect to the internet! Have market fun!

Did this post helped you? Hit the thanks:thumbup: button! I really like it
Worked perfectly for me on my Galaxy Note N7000 under GB XXLA4
The app I had to uninstall was "Market Updater" - I used Titanium Backup to uninstall
I left 'Market Feedback' in place
Had to uninstall updates from "Google Play" as described.
The background process spawned by Google Play has now disappeared (as expected) and a second instance of Google Maps service has also disappeared. Maybe the new Play keeps asking where I am (in the background)... Not nice, Google...
Thanks OP
Worked on my SD-card-bootable Nook Color with CyanogenMod 7, too Thanks again
